Snork! You don't listen to him, girl, that's some goodlookin hair.
Way on back in the 70's when I was in 2nd grade, my mom cut her waist-length brown hair into a shag and had it frosted while I was at school. Dad brought us home, I got one look at her, dropped my backpack and went sobbing into my room. It could have been worse, at least you didnt make him cry ;)

I had my hair highlighted (highlightened?) on the top most layers & the underlayers dyed a red darker than my natural with a slight burgandy tint. My 8 year old said "I sure hope that color lightens up some so you won't be embarrassed at school."

When I bought a new pair of birkenstocks with strawberries (I was going to wear them gardening, so they were totally appropriate), my then 2yo laughed and said "Mommy, you are wearing clown shoes." To this day I think of clowns when I put them on.

A)I know everyone else already said it, but yes, the hair, it is hot.
And 2) You know you can't listen to your kids. Their world isn't any bigger than the living room. My 3 year old deigned to tell me today "You can be my sidekick anytime, Mom." Being an '80s girl, it took all I had not to tell her "Bullshit; you can be mine."

You can borrow my 4yo; to her everything these days is FANTASTIC! I think it looks great! Kids! Though at least it's not as annoying as my sister telling me anytime I got a haircut while pregnant that it was such a "mommy haircut."
